Irish band The Script, who became one of Bridlington Spa's fastest selling gigs in 2013, have announced they will return next month.

The Script, who last performed at Bridlington Spa in July 2013, will return on Bank Holiday Monday, 28 August 2017. Tickets go on general sale on Friday 28 July, with a maximum of two tickets per person.

They will be joined on the tour by special guest JP Cooper.

After almost 3 years since their last release, The Script returned last Friday with their brand new single Rain, out through Columbia Records.

Rain was immediately added to playlists up and down the country and stormed straight into the Top 10 on iTsunes - it was impossible to miss that The Script were back!

Today the Irish three-piece announce more news - their fifth album Freedom Child will be released on 1st September and they will embark on an intimate tour around the UK and Ireland, including a date at Bridlington Spa on Monday 28 August 2017.

Freedom Child sees the band presenting a collection of urgent, timely, future-facing anthems that speak of both real-life events and real-time sonic adventurism. The album was recorded between London and Los Angeles and for the first time, the band chose to work with some outside writers and producers including Toby Gad and Nasri Atweh.

To coincide with the release of Freedom Child, The Script, who are no strangers to sold out arenas and stadiums, will get up close and personal with their loyal fan base at intimate shows around the country.

Tickets are available to purchase on Friday 28th July from 9.30am with a fan pre-sale starting earlier in the week. For more ticket information, please visit http://www.thescriptmusic.com/.
